Lyman Off-Grid

Set on six wooded acres in Lyman, Maine, this off-grid home brings Unity Homes’ Värm design to a secluded setting. Factory-built wall, floor, and roof panels form the home’s structure, with HausWorks serving as general contractor and completing the home on site. The totally off-grid home includes three bedrooms, two and a half baths, an entry porch, and slab-on-grade construction. A 9.6 kW rooftop solar array powers the home.
